This is the third cache in a series of caches that will ultimately lead you to the Kliprivier Nature Reserve, where you can enjoy a day of game watching as you hike through the numerous trails in the reserve. The cache is hidden next to a feature that was build for the FIFA 2010 Soccer World Cup. This was considered Mexico "Home" during the world cup.
The 650ha Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve, just 11km south of downtown Johannesburg, is an oasis of calm amid the bustle of the city. Among the largest nature reserves in the Johannesburg metropolitan area, Klipriviersberg (meaning “stone river mountain”) was proclaimed in 1984 to preserve the area’s rich biodiversity and archaeological sites.
The reserve is home to more than 600 plant and 150 bird species. Zebra, red hartebeest, black wildebeest, blesbok, duiker, springbok and mountain reedbuck roam freely in the reserve.
For a copy of the trails in the reserve, you can access the map HERE.
